Amazon Kindle Tips & Tricks

The Kindle might not have a GPS receiver but it does have EV-DO that is location-aware. In the browser mode simple hit Alt-1. The Kindle will plot your current location on Google Maps. Just like on a PC, you can zoom into the street or zoom out and get a look at the surrounding area. Hit Alt-3 in the map and it will search for nearby restaurants. Then make sure to let the Kindle sit shotgun because selecting Alt-2 finds the nearest gas stations.
